In our digital age, it is easy to overlook the essential role that two-way radios play in the security industry, whether it is in private security, the police service or in situations where large crowds are gathered and effective communication is a necessity.

Everyone seems far more focussed on security technology like satellite tracking, video surveillance, cyber security and more, however, none of these technologies can take the place of effective human communication via two-way radio.

This is the one form of communication that has outlasted all others throughout history, and, when satellites go down, all other forms of digital communication are useless – but not the ever-faithful two-way radio!

Owner and manager of PRS (Profiler Risk Solutions), Len Nieuwoudt, understands this from his grassroots background in the South African Police, and the many years he has spent active in the security industry, which is why he has brought the highest standard in two-way security radios to Cape Town.

The systems already in place at the hands of PRS already include having reliable communal repeater communications well entrenched and in place, to cover a broad range of communications in and around Cape Town.

Established in 2006, PRS has built on the original vision that Len had about improving communication in the security industry, based on his own experiences, as well as ensuring that any other industry using two-way radios in Cape Town would have nothing but the highest quality in products.

Having outstanding products like the new Intelligent Digital Trunking Radio, the iTalk PRS Radios with Unlimited Talk time, along with the supply of top brands such as Analogue and Digital handheld, mobile and base stations from manufacturers such as Kirisun, Motorola, Kenwood, Icomj and more, is just one of the reasons that PRS is a trusted name in the security industry.

You can rely on personalised service excellence when you deal with the team assembled by Len at PRS; this is a platform where the absolute confidentiality and professionalism established by PRS over the years continues to satisfy top clients in the security industry!

It’s also not just about the security communications products offered by PRS that makes them stand head above shoulders of the rest, it’s also about the fact that even if this team doesn’t have what you are looking for, they will make it happen!

This is a speciality field, and no one can afford to mess around with the quality of security communications if you are in the business of keeping people and property safe!

So, while the Australians may have been the very first guys to use two-way radios back in the 1920’s, with the US military following 10 years later, PRS is holding the fort for the incredible technological achievements that have made two-way radio communication in Cape Town comparable with the rest of the world!

Anyone who has ever watched a crime fighting series, whether it’s with the police, undercover units, S.W.A.T teams or the CIA and MI6 in focus, will have seen what happens when their own mobile communications systems are hacked into, compromising an entire operation.

This is when two-way radios definitely play a major role in security communications, and with the incredible advances in technology over the last decade, no one in the security industry would even think of going out without a two-way radio as back-up in a tight spot.

Anyone in the security industry has to be mobile, and, despite the increasing demands on security agencies, private and governmental, the extremely reliable, portable and tough two-way radio has managed to evolve into one of the most trusted communications tools for many sectors today.

Security companies providing security guards for premises, and those in any emergency services such as the fire department and rescue services, have to be able to rely on portable, safe communication in order to play their roles effectively.

Two-way radios have become so advanced that they offer bigger operational ranges, the ability to boost coverage if necessary and even handle longer ranges across a few different sites.

Maintaining the control and safety of large crowds gathered anywhere from a sports stadium to a street demonstration requires this type of trusted communications tool, which means that what initially started out as a tool used only by the police has now flowed into many other industries.

The value of good quality digital two-way radio communication has grown to such an extent that local business, private security firms, police and CCTV control centres are able to remain in communication with each other in a concerted effort to tackle high crime rates in specific areas.

Making sure that you have the right two-way radio communication in Cape Town is the job of the team at PRS (Profiler Risk Solutions), the invaluable experience earned by owner/manager Len Nieuwoudt in the police services and security industry makes it easier to cut through all the mumbo jumbo and get to the bottom line of what would be a sound decision for your industry.

The expression “10 Radio Codes” does not in any way mean that security guards have only 10 codes they can use to share information and messages very quickly with each other, the control centre, police and other emergency services; it is simple shorthand for the language used to make communication fast and clear, especially when it comes to the protection of people and property.

Safety and security is a serious matter for us all, however, where we get to learn just one set of numbers and alphabet, security guards are given a completely different skill set that is used to maintain secure communications, based on the phonetic alphabet.

Most of us are aware of the growing concern regarding just how much of our information is sitting out in cyberspace, and how susceptible all our forms of communication are to hacking, which then leads to digital theft and fraud, making it easier to understand that in the safety and security forces, communication between security guards, on the ground level, needs to be kept as secure as it is in the loftier levels of security.

10 Radio Codes is exactly what is needed by any security guard, whether as an armed guard responding to all types of emergency situations, or as an on-site guard. Information has to be very quick and universally understood by response teams and security guards, without leaking anything to the general public.

For instance, should a security guard be faced with a situation that could be developing into something that will affect hundreds of lives, he will know what to do to quickly, coordinate further security, and to alert EMT’s to be on standby, before anyone one else is even aware of any trouble ahead.

In crowds like this, if the word gets out the wrong way, panic can result in crippling injuries and death, which makes the 10 Radio Codes an essential communication tool for security guards, security companies, police, fire department and other rescue services.

The 10 radio codes for security guards consist of the number 10, followed by a letter taken from the phonetic alphabet, based on the Latin language and adopted by security forces worldwide as a form of universal secure communication.

We’ve all heard codes like ’10-4’ in favourite series or movies, and even we know that it means ‘Roger’, and we definitely recognise terms like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, but that’s as far as it goes for us. But for security guards using two-way radios and mobile phones, ’10 radio codes’ is a lifesaving language to learn.

PRS Communications, established and headed by owner-manager Len Niewoudt, a former member of SAPS and lifelong member of the security industry, is committed to assisting you in equipping your security guards with high tech, quality 2-way radios in Cape Town, ready to be shipped off anywhere in South Africa, to make 10 radio codes for security guards loud and crystal clear under all circumstances!
